Quick summary
Microsoft Project treats Saturday as a non-working day by default, but you can change this by creating a custom calendar and configuring working hours for the weekend. This tutorial walks you through using the Change Working Time dialog to make Saturday an active workday in your project schedule.
Steps
- Click the Project tab in the ribbon menu to access project-level settings.
- Select Change Working Time from the dropdown options.
- In the dialog box, click Create New Calendar to set up a custom weekend schedule.
- Give your calendar a descriptive name such as "Calendar with Saturday/Weekend" and click OK to continue.
- Navigate to the Work Weeks tab to customize your working days.
- Select Saturday in the days list, then choose the "Set day(s) to these specific working times" radio button.
- Enter your Saturday working hours — for example, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM — to match your project needs.
- Click OK to save your changes and add Saturday to your project schedule.
